Katri, Girl of the Meadows Season 1 Episode 4 Decision 1984
A typical quiet evening becomes the backdrop for an ordinary home commute with Juura to become extraordinary when Martii accosts Katri with the preamble to a viable job opportunity on the Räikkölä-ke farm along with the necessary vector to be added to the payrolls; as an additional unexpected bonus, Katri's grandfather Julius is in the neighborhood entreating Governor Halme that he be bailed some wheat; while licking his wounds from having his exhortation refused, Julius is forced to rethink his perspective on Katri working now faced with the prospect of there being no food at all and reluctantly agrees to accompany his granddaughter to Halme-ke the next day where the cobbler explains them the parameters of Räikkölä-ke's herding job. Upon Katri and Julius expounding on several instances of Aapeli's situational utility, the cobbler sees things their way and agrees to write the requisite recommendation letter. As if to help ultimately seal the deal, Aapeli even gets into the act to once again demonstrate his situational utility when he takes the initiative to assume responsibility for Governor Halme's horse catalyzed by Katri's direction; after being mistaken for a cattle thief, Martti is elated upon learning the epilogue Katri has had visited unto her -- a new job within a week and Ukonniemi-ke being bailed 15 liters of wheat courtesy of a contrite Governor Halme.
